Incredible fruit

There's something sublime about taking a bite out of a fruit that's just the right ripeness, with just the right balance of flavors. It's a rare thing, to find a fruit with just these right qualities.

I tend to find this is most likely to happen with:

• Berries. Usually when they're picked right off the bush and are warm from the sun.
• Oranges[1]. When you get that first orange in the winter, it's just incredible.
• Apples. Probably 90% of apples don't have this quality. But when you find one of the rare 10%, it's phenomenal.
• Pears. About the same ratio as apples.
